The FINANCIAL — Georgian-American Alloys celebrated one of its most important technological innovations of on September 18, which is a high-tech line of a slag hydro separator.
The product processing technology provides Zestafoni Ferroalloy Plant with an important advantage in the fields of effective slag processing which results in increase of product performance and quality based on an agreement signed with a German company Allmineral Aufbereitungstechnik GmbH & Co. in 2013.
This will be reflected on the Georgian economy due to the fact that Georgian American Alloys holds 11% of the country’s total exports, believes Velvel Lozynsky, General Director at Georgian-American Alloyes. Slag processing through hydro separator will also affect ecological environment and increase the effectiveness of resource usage. Because the final raw material provided through slag processing is used for the production of construction materials, the development of this field will also be enhanced in the future, according to Lozynsky.
“This is a 9 million GEL investment, whose major part belongs to Allmineral Aufbereitungstechnik GmbH & Co. We continue to cooperate with Allmineral the projects connected with the effective ore processing in Chiatura. This is the largest investment package, of the latest period, associated with Georgia – German economic cooperation,” said Lozynskyy
“Introduction of such technology significantly develops metallurgy and heavy industries in Georgia, because it acts as a motivator for other enterprises to develop high-tech processing equipment and to increase the standards of their performance as well,” he added.
Nicolas Berliner, United States Deputy Ambassador and Guido Muntel, Head of Economic and Legal and Consular Affairs at German Ambassador have also celebrated one of the most important technological innovations of Zestafoni Ferroalloy Plant.
“The gigantic complex of refuse material enrichment, a separation site was established at the Ferro-Alloy Plant to maintain lossless production process. Before separation started operating, refuse slag contained unused manganese, and its assimilation has not been done until now. The mentioned technology enables us to move our enterprise onto a new, waste-less production stage. This gives the company additional income and makes less harmful influence on the environment. Work done by German and Polish engineers brought the workers of Zestaponi even closer to the European labor culture, security standards and common European corporate values,” he said.
Allmineral is a world-renowned specialist in the preparation of gravel, sand, coal and ore. Their systems and methods make intelligent use of the laws of physics and the forces of the natural elements air and water. They are active worldwide: allmineral’s plants are in use on every continent around the world, according to Lozynsky.
The results received by implementing these new technologies will become a stimulus to deepen more cooperation in the field of technology and implement new technological achievements of the company Allminearal Aufbereitungstechnik GmbH & Co.in our enterprises, believes Lozynsky.
“I am happy that we are implementing new technologies in the Georgian metallurgy and in the heavy industry in general. This will be a stimulus for other enterprises to increase standards and implement new technologies.
Our management tries to improve many issues in labor culture, even though many things have changed, due to inheritance, the working environment is being developed gradually. We are changing the attitude to the work security system, implement the modern forms of producing and recycling ore. We focus particular attention on the quality of workers’ satisfaction, which is reflected on improved nourishment portions, as well as on increasing the level of hygiene and environment and personal security,” Lozynsky said.
Recently Georgian-American Alloyes opened a new shop which serves the staff members with preferential tax system. “The reconstruction on the Plant territory is in progress. The site will be cleaned from unused space, all enterprise links will start operating and working effectively; in near future we will get a plant working properly, with European standards which will bring us even closer to the heavy industry standards of leading countries and European labor values,” he said.
“Our company pays a great attention to a problem of influence on environment. During our management new filters were installed which significantly decreased emission of harmful substances. We are making more emphasis in this direction which will make our working process more harmless in respect of the environment influence.
So we are continuing our strategy, to improve production methods, to renew appliances in order to make production more effective and more strengthen our competitive position,” Lozynsky said.
